I also have a quote from actor Ian McShane about the cancellation of the show, which I shall put here:

From the New York Daily News:

I thought the whole thing was handled shabbily. But what the fuck, HBO and Deadwood have been very good to me.

However, I think what's been lost in everybody slapping each other on the back, with a possible two two-hour movies to wrap up the series after this season, is that Deadwood is one of the most acclaimed series on TV. A truly great show. So I was initially shocked. And now I'm sad.

You'll never know what the fuck really happened.

And we'll see if the two-hour movies come to fruition or not. Part of me prefers it to six one-hour shows, because in a two-hour movie you can play with space and time and cover more material.

Look, I loved playing this part. I love the way HBO handled everything up to this point.

I think we needed four or five seasons to finish telling the story. I just thought it was odd to cancel the series before season three was even on the air. Whether this was some devious publicity ploy to get more people to watch or not, who knows.

But the fucking story of Deadwood wasn't finished, man. So I'm sad about it being cancelled like this."
